^ Yeah, I understand the platinum rewards being high priced since it's fairly easy to get more points, but that doesn't mean just ignore the fact that they exist and give us nothing but a few pointless 15% discounts. Even the gold rewards are not interesting with the full Virtual Console games being very common games most people on My Nintendo probably already own, and the discounts are just barely more than the platinum point discounts.

While you don't need to spent anything on platinum points so I understand why the rewards are not that good.

Huh, thanks for giving me mine on my birthday Nintendo. I actually purchased Yoshi's Woolly World on my birthday too so I would've very much appreciated that birthday discount...I guess it's a new addition though.

The game is dreadful. Trust me, it is awful. From the controls to the framerate, the game is..something. I could go into a lot of detail but I'd just like to say the horror game overused jump scares and was quite unoriginal. The jumpscare (As far as I got, there was only one being reused several times) was a bit funny to me after the first time. I don't even find it to be so bad that it's good and I can appreciate that kind of stuff. It's free 30 gold points though, which is lovely. I'm not sure why Nintendo chose this game if they did or the developers struck some kind of deal. Even for the poor quality that it is, I say you should check it out, you're likely downloading it for the gold points anyways. You'll get some kind of experience out of it, maybe even some kind of enjoyment out of it if you like bad games.

I checked the Miiverse community for this The First Skunk Bundle, it's hilarious.

Then try out the new endurance mode and improve your Online-Highscore.

I guess Zen Pinball 3D is better then nothing and there's a few decent games for those who use the Wii U still. On the other hand you think they would include 1 or 2 of the many Switch indie games that are not selling anymore.

Starting in March you will be to use gold points for a discount on select eShop games.

Nintendo wrote:My Nintendo members already earn Gold Points by buying qualifying games. However, an exciting change is coming! Starting in March, My Nintendo members will also be able to redeem Gold Points for eligible digital games and content for the Nintendo Switch™ system.

Here’s how it will work:

Buy a qualifying digital game for Nintendo Switch, Wii U, or Nintendo 3DS family systems or a physical game for the Nintendo Switch system. Earn Gold Points worth 5% of the amount you pay, not including any points or discounts used*. You can then redeem those points on your next eligible digital purchase (including games and DLC) for the Nintendo Switch system from Nintendo eShop or Nintendo.com. Of course, you can also continue to redeem your points for existing My Nintendo rewards for Wii U or Nintendo 3DS systems.

Stay tuned for more details!

*Buying a physical game for the Nintendo Switch system will earn you Gold Points worth 1% of the Nintendo eShop purchase price for that game.

So most are likely only up to around a $5 off with there gold coins. Better then nothing I guess and it's a step closer to my $5 shop credit idea.

This doesn't really seem all that impressive when you consider the fact that we've been waiting for Switch rewards for about a year at this point. Still it is nice that it contributes to all Switch digital games.
